You know you're rooted when.. You see this hot chick, you approach her, conversing a few words, showing interest. You insist that she should have your number, she whips out an iPhone from her purse to take your number. You then tell her that you just forgot that you hadn't paid your phone bill and won't be on for a while, you apologize and walk away.

.: Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy S II™ Epic™ 4G Touch ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ :.

Some girls are special... they need an iPhone to appear "SMART"

You Know Ur Rooted When Your Odin Count is 74 and You've only had your phone For 2 Months!

I've used triangle away about 30times in the last 2 days from trying to get init.d working and bootlooping with no recovery and having to Odin el26+cwm kernel so i could reflash my rom lol, I haven't made a backup since I got on ics so everytime I softbrick or boot loop I'm hitting up Odin to flash el26 kernel I think in the last month I've probably had a total flash count of 100 or so it was at 62 when i first used triangle away, I was at 61 with no triangle so i left it, 62 gave me the triangle which annoyed me so i got rid of it. Once I realized how easy it was I went crazy just randomly flashing and bootlooping testing different crap not caring about the triangle anymore ;) . And you know you're rooted when you spend more time explaining to your mom you couldn't answer the phone cuz you were flashing aokp and explaining that aokp is not a sorority and you were not showing a bunch of college chicks your doodle, you were installing a custom rom on your phone, and she says idk what that is just as long as you're not showing random chicks your parts have fun, I don't need you having to register as a sex offender for flashing aokp whatever that means :rolleyes:

Was reading some tech journals and found an app you may enjoy if you feel like the screen is too bright at night time. It's called lux auto brightness that allows for lowering brightness even further than zero. I'm loving it so far as it has been one problem i had with the otherwise beautiful amoled.

They'll be in sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/

You can just rename them using any file browser. I'm not sure if you can put spaces in them, but I just used underscores or periods when renaming because that's how they're named normally and I'm just extra cautious.

Man, why didn't anyone tell me there were two versions of the Att sgs2? The I777 and the I727! I downloaded the kernel for the wrong phone and Odin'ed it to my friends s2. He saw AKOP on my phone and wanted it on his.
I searched skyrocket in the search bar and found Att galaxy S2 skyrocket development, skimmed over the tuts, basically the same procedure as our phones. Downloaded him CWM recovery and his ROM, went to flash it and kept getting a red failed instead of a pass! I said, well that's a first. I went to turn on his phone and a message came on saying firmware failed blah blah blah.

My heart sank. No boot, no recovery but download mode still worked, I knew all hope wasn't lost.

After an hour of reading around the forum I glanced over to his phone with the battery off, I noticed it said sgh-I777 and looked at the ROMs and noticed they had sgh-I727 in the titles.

I googled xda sgh-I777 and found the right forum, thank god I finally found a tar to fix his phone. He's rocking AKOP now and couldn't be happier. Im just glad I didn't brick him.

You know you're rooted when you're known around campus by some people as that hacker kid, haha. But that's probably partially from me making and using xbox 360 jtags to give them 10th prestige and whatnot and also giving everyone a way around our school's stupid internet blocks :cool:

You know you're rooted when you read stuff on a thread that has nothing to do with the topic at hand and you say to yourself, "hmm that's good to know"

    You know you're rooted when your girlfriend doesn't understand why you spend so much time "fixing" a brand new phone.

    You know you're rooted....
    when you miss a call from friends or family, and they ask why....
    You tell them that you must have been "in recovery", and don't understand the strange looks they give you:
    "Mom, I DON'T have a drug problem!"

    You know you're rooted when the term sextape has lost its original meaning in your mind.

    You know you're rooted when... you never have to clear out your sms inbox because you just do it when you flash a new rom.
